I have bookings for 10 nights starting tomorrow at a Fairfield, Tribute and Westin, but will cancel them if Platinum is not on the table. The Gold I have means little.
Is that person getting confused with the other status challenge that Marriott also had, stay 16 nights and receive Platinum? I knew that they cancelled that one on the 27th until the end of the year. I find it hard to believe that they would end this new challenge the day the bloggers all announce it.
